I have a basic for loop with a simple matrix. The code is doing what it is
supposed to do, but I'm still wondering the error "subscript out of
bounds". What would be a smoother way to code such a basic for loop?

myMatrix <- matrix(0,5,12)
for(i in 1:nrow(myMatrix)) {
  for(i in 1:ncol(myMatrix)) {
    myMatrix[i,i] = -1
    myMatrix[i,i+1] = 1
}}
print(myMatrix)

Thanks in advance!


Perhaps you do not need loops at all?

    myMatrix <- matrix(0, 5, 12)
    diag(myMatrix) <- -1
    diag(myMatrix[, -1]) <- 1
